You may have seen some supposed "blogs" or ads that say "Hi I'm Amy and I lost 50 pounds using acai." I wrote about this back in 2005, but the scam has returned. In creating this post I also saw a scam that says "acai is a scam, so buy my hoodia". How do you like that? One scammer bashing another.

First of all you should know that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Think about it. Does it sound realistic that you would lose weight by drinking berry juice?

Hi Naomi,I see it as being healthy, and I personally like the taste of it...but I wouldn't suggest that anyone would lose weight from eating it. The fruit is just one part of many things to consider in trying to stay lean.
